Beginning in Iceland and ending in the American Southwest, these images reveal the idyllic nature of travel and found experience. By romanticizing what is far away, this series conveys a kinship with the unknown and a longing to be elsewhere. These subjects are not specific to place or time, but are drawn from popular notions of the ideal: mountains, birds, beautiful women. They are fantasies, and they represent the human tendency to chase perfection. This is Distance Pain, the opposite of homesick—a sickness for the far away.
